by Sir Charles Upper. The Minis

at daggers drawn, and it is believed
that one or the other will have to re-

eachi is wanting to take the lead. 1t is
sad that for months they have not ex-
changed words, and it requires all the

certificate. He answered that he
had not. Under cross examina-
ton, witness explained that Mrs.

death had been caused by peritonitis,
and he replied that she could. Sub.
sequently she told him that she had
done SO and he said he would ratify the
act. The circumstances of the illness
OF the deceased were ex lained by the
witness. He said that Mrs. Hagenow

cate which had been signed by her

himself, and he replied that he would.

attended deceased from August 9th to
August 22d, and when asked to ex-
plain the matter he acknowledged
that he had not attended the decea ed
during the entire time as stated. The
evidence for the prosecution being all

documents in the baggage of
wealthy Chinese merchant of this
city, Wong All Tung, by name, who
was supposed to be implicated in
traffic in female Chinese slaves.
Wong All Tung, shortly after the
seizure, was indicted by the United
States Grand Jury for bringing fe-
males into this country for immoral
purposes, and is now out ON beil fur
nished by four merchants in China
town. The documents seized were
handed over to Deputy Collector Scott,
and four men have been engaged in
translating and arranging them SO
that they could be used as evidence.
There are now over fifty women de-
tanned on Chinese steamers in port,
and there is more or less documentary
evidence regarding the
IMPORTATION OF FEMALES.
To-day Collector Hager received
from Deputy Collector Scott a COM
plete statement of the Chinese slave
trade as exposed by the papers found
in possession of the Chinese. 1t is
regarded as the most complete ex-
pose OF the slave traffic yet presented,
and shows in detail the extent to
which the fraud has been carried on.
The anslations OF the various docu-
ments show among other things that
THE PRICE PAID
For Chinese women ranges from 500
to $500. Judge Hoffman to-day re-

erful and wealthy ring dealers were
engaged in the slave trade, and he
would do his utmost to break it up.
